Ethics in Real Estate
As a responsible real estate professional, I promise to adhere to a strict code of ethics in conducting any and all activities related to your sale or purchase of a home. Although many think the terms "REALTOR®" and "real estate agent" are the same, they are not. Not all licensed real estate agents are REALTORS®, members of the National Association of REALTORS®. Only REALTORS® are able to use the multiple listing service and are held to a higher ethical standard.
As a REALTOR®, simply doing what is legal is not good enough. In my real estate practice I demand an ethical standard that goes above and beyond the legal requirements. Why? Besides being the right thing to do, I know by adhering to strict ethical guidelines I will earn your trust. By establishing trust I'll build a long term business model based on long term clients. It's a win-win for everyone.
You can see our code of ethics at:
NAR Code of Ethics
There are rules pertaining to: Disclosure of agency, financial arrangements, following the law of the land, marketing practices, negotiation methods, how clients are charged for services, how offers are presented, confidentiality, and more. All of these rules are intended to protect your interests.
